Chapter 69 Zongdi falls into the water and collects the corpse in the kiln

During this period of time, Fan Chengkun stayed in his command center almost twenty-four hours a day. In the evening, suddenly the staff officer on duty in the alarm room reported that the alarm went off on the ice. Fan Chengkun immediately went straight to the top of the castle, where a telescope could just see the ice of the Fen River. Fan Chengkun looked through the binoculars and saw that there were one or two hundred people crawling on the ice, and they thought they had quietly climbed in. Fan Chengkun ordered: "The people below should pay attention, don't let these 200 people slip through the net after they go ashore." ”

Fan Chengkun felt that these 200 people were not worth detonating the ice, and those ** were first reserved for the big fish. He knew that the two hundred were just a temptation.

really let Fan Chengkun guess correctly, Yuan Zongdi was not at ease after leading people to the Fen River, so he first sent a team of 200 people to test it. After the more than 200 people climbed in and did not find the situation, he ordered the brigade to continue to follow up.

How did Yuan Zongdi know that a large number of triggers made of fine copper wires twisted together had been arranged on the ice surface here. This is the simplest alarm. Two thin copper wires are twisted together to form a loop and placed in various places on the ice. Because the thin copper wire is very thin, it is not easy to find with the naked eye. When a person accidentally touches the twisted copper wires, the two strands of copper wires will be disconnected with a slight touch, so that the electric bell of the alarm center will be triggered, and different indicators will flash at different positions. This is what elementary school students would do in the previous life, but here it is definitely high-tech. Fan Chengkun knew where people came in through the alarm.

Originally, Fan Chengkun wanted to wait for a little more people to climb up on the ice before detonating ** to blow up the ice, but just like the smelting field, the 200 people who came in earlier detonated **.

Fan Chengkun had to give the order to detonate the ** on the ice. With a loud bang, some of the soldiers of the Dashun Army who climbed onto the ice were blown into the sky, and some fell into the Fen River, which was full of broken ice. Yuan Zongdi just climbed onto the ice ** and exploded, Yuan Zongdi was almost stunned, the ice under him cracked and he also fell into the water of the Fen River, and his own soldiers desperately fished him ashore. However, Yuan Zongdi looked at the brothers who were gradually submerged in the water, and wanted to cry without tears. Instead of rejoicing that they would not die, they wished they would die with their brothers. At this time, there were bursts of explosions in the direction of the frontal position on the east side of Lingshui Wharf.

Liu Tichun and the others led the cavalry to attack. According to the agreement, Liu Tichun wanted to start the attack with the sound of the bowl on Yuan Zongdi's side.

The ** sound detonated by the two hundred soldiers made Liu Tichun think it was a signal to attack. He led their brave cavalry into a frenzied assault. Due to the suddenness of their attack, by the time the defenders of Yaogang rushed to their positions, the cavalry of the Dashun army had already rushed to the second barbed wire fence after paying great sacrifices.

Liu Tichun did not use infantry to take the lead in this attack, just to take advantage of the cavalry's attack speed and suddenness to catch the defenders off guard. The cavalry commanded by Liu Tichun heard a "boom" from the Fen River, and he thought that Yuan Zongdi had succeeded and sent out a signal to attack. Liu Tichun immediately commanded the cavalry to rush forward, and when the cavalry approached the first barbed wire, the war horses encountered many rejections, and some of these cavalry crossed the rejections, but most of the cavalry crashed into the rejections because it was dark. In fact, even during the day, it is difficult for most war horses to cross those rejected horses. However, the high-speed impact of the war horses could not be contained at all, and many of them crossed over on fallen horses and cavalry. However, when they rushed to the second line of defense, they were met by the soldiers of the kiln guards who rushed to the position, and these cavalrymen fell in a short time to be captured by the musketeers.

The cavalrymen, who had been rushing for a long time, only heard a loud noise from the other side of the Fen River, and then there was no sound from that side. Although Liu Tichun was still busy and didn't know what was going on over there, he understood that Yuan Zongdi's side must have failed. Liu Tichun stopped the cavalrymen who wanted to continue the charge, and collected his troops and returned to the camp.

Not long after, Yuan Zongdi also came back with people. However, only half of the 10,000 horses he brought with him returned.

After counting, Liu Tichun attacked for a while, and also lost nearly a thousand cavalry.

Yuan Zongdi was frozen due to falling into the water, and coupled with the fire, he began to have a high fever. The military doctor hurriedly boiled medicine for treatment. Liu Tichun had no choice but to order the soldiers to watch the camp so as not to be attacked by others.

When the battle came to this point, Liu Tichun was also a little dazed, and he didn't know how to fight this battle. All his thoughts are thought of by others.

He had no choice but to repair a book and report the situation here to Li Zicheng's camp in detail.

The defense of the smelting field and the Lingshui pier was very solid, and there were no major problems, and the difficulties that were expected did not appear. Liu Chenghuang: The cavalry they hid in ambush outside has not been used yet. However, listening to Ouyang He, Fan Chengkun and the others were very anxious, and they could send a few telegrams a day to come back to ask for battle.

Li Yunhe also called to report the good news that the infantry artillery had been pulled to the shooting range to start test firing; The parts of the bicycle were also figured out, and they were waiting for Zhang Zhimu to assemble them himself; Yang Chang's electron tubes have also come out of a few, the effect is very good, and the parameters are being tested; Master Qingfengzi, who rarely called, also called to say that their photography skills were successful and they could take pictures. It's all good news, and Zhang Zhimu is in a good mood. He called and told Huang Yukun that he would go home for dinner tonight.

Huang Yukun said on the phone: "Oops! You still know how to go home for dinner! What do you want to eat at home? ”

"Anything, you can watch it." Zhang Zhimu said that Zhang Zhimu really likes the feeling of eating together as a family. As for what you eat, it's not too important, besides, Huang Yukun is already very good at cooking, and now that she has a cousin here, she is also a person who is very good at cooking. The food at home has always been good.

However, a dish from dinner made Zhang Zhimu overjoyed. When a plate of fresh endive vegetables was served, Zhang Zhimu asked in surprise: "What, now this endage is coming out?" ”

Huang Yukun said: "At this time of the year, this thing comes out first in the place where the wind and the sun are sheltered. Xiaoqing went to get it, and she said you love to eat this thing. ”

Xiaoqing smiled and said, "Uncle, you forgot, it's your birthday soon." Didn't you just pick it up when I went to pick up wild vegetables? ”

Listening to Xiaoqing's words, Zhang Zhimu was a little excited, hugged Xiaoqing and kissed him, and said, "Oops! It's been almost two years since I've been here. In the past two years, Xiaoqing and Xiaohu have grown up really fast. When I saw Xiaoqing, I saw her carrying a big basket to pick wild vegetables, and she looked very small. Now I'm slowly becoming a big girl. ”

Xiaoqing sounded very beautiful, but Xiaohu was a little unhappy, because Zhang Zhimu didn't kiss him or praise him. Zhang Zhimu quickly saw Xiaohu's expression and said, "Xiaohu grows up fast, and when this battle is over, it should be time to go to school." ”

Xiaohu nodded.

Zhang Zhimu said: "It's really fast, there will be two students in our family soon." Xiaohu, when you go to school, your uncle will give you a good gift. ”

"What gift?" Xiaohu came to the spirit.

Keep it a secret now and tell you when you go to school.

Zhang Zhimu knew that he couldn't eat without telling Xiaohu, he deliberately said so.

"Uncle, please tell me now!"

Zhang Zhimu lay on Xiaohu's ear and said, "Bicycle! ”

"What do you call a bicycle?"

Zhang Zhimu said: "I can't say it now, but you will know when the time comes." ”

Xiaohu had no choice but to stop asking.

While eating, Zhang Zhimu said to Xiaoqing: "It's good for you to take your classmates to the front line to offer condolences, but don't go when you are fighting in the front." Not to mention that you are in danger, people will send people to protect you and cause trouble to others. ”

Xiaoqing said, "I know. Besides, when the fight started, people wouldn't let us in. ”

At this time, my cousin interjected: "You are also a girl's family, and you are not afraid of people's jokes when you go to the battlefield, and you don't know how to be afraid?" ”

Xiaoqing was used to this aunt's nagging, and said angrily: "We are also afraid." My classmates cried when they heard the shells explode. I didn't cry. ”

Yang Yulin said: "Xiaoqing, you must stay away from the fight." Cannonballs don't have eyes, and he doesn't know whose daughter you are. I heard Xiao Hongyu say that when they went to the front line to offer condolences, a shell exploded far away, and their actors were scared and cried. ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "That kind of cold run is terrible, because they are even more inaccurate. ”

My cousin said, "I don't know when this battle will be over." I don't know what's going on at home? ”

Huang Yukun said: "My brother-in-law and his family have withdrawn to Lishan, and no one can take away the house at home. You can rest assured! ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "We will beat the thief army away after waiting for a month, don't worry!" We won't let them delay spring planting. There has been a lot of snow this winter, and I think we will have a good harvest this year. ”

Zhang Zhimu likes the feeling of gossip and relaxation when the family is together.

But at this time, what Zhang Zhimu was thinking in his heart was. It's March 17th. According to the original history, this day should be the day when Li Zicheng entered Beijing, but because of his appearance, Li Zicheng is still entangled with himself here. Has history really changed? Will he ever return to his own orbit?

The days when there are two wives at home are also very interesting. Zhang Zhimu can't always go to sleep in one wife's room and snub another person. I can't say it, but it needs to be a good balance. Usually most of the time, Zhang Zhimu is still willing to sleep in his own room, he feels that he can sleep more comfortably here, but occasionally Yang Yulin will suddenly run in at night, make out with him and then go back to his house.

Sometimes, Zhang Zhimu inevitably wants to compare the difference between the two women. And Zhang Zhimu felt that the two women seemed to want to understand the difference between themselves in Zhang Zhimu's eyes. Zhang Zhimu is often asked who is good and what is different, and of course Zhang Zhimu will ask who is good. He thought to himself, you don't want to ask each other after all, do you? If you ask each other, I won't admit it!

In the morning, before Zhang Zhimu left the house, Chen Yufeng called from the command center and said, "Zhimu! If there's something going on, you can just come to the command center! ”

Zhang Zhimu said, "Okay, I'll go over immediately." ”

Huang Yukun said: "This phone call is really convenient. We also have to produce more telephones, and in the future, all branches will have to install telephones, so that there is something to do, just make a phone call, and there is no need to run again. ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "In the future, not only will each branch factory install telephones, but also every office workshop will install telephones, and every household will have to install telephones. ”

Yang Yulin said: "If that's the case, the switchboard won't be busy." Now we have only a few hundred telephones installed in the kiln. When I heard Song Jiaxin say that she was busy, she was a little too busy. ”

Zhang Zhimu smiled and said: "Don't worry, at that time, there will be no need for them to turn around." We picked up the phone, who we wanted to call, pressed a few numbers and it was transferred. We use automatic switch transfers. ”

Zhang Zhimu went out with Yang Yulin, and Yang Yulin said: "You always stay in the command center, and the office will be boring." ”

Zhang Zhimu joked: "Why is it not enough for the two of us to make out at home, we have to go to the office to continue." ”

Yang Yulin said: "you, it's always not serious." I just wanted to get pregnant sooner. My mom always asked me if there was something wrong with me. I've also seen doctors, and they all say it's fine. I think you just have too little time to spend with me. ”

Zhang Zhimu only then thought that Yang Yulin had never been pregnant. Thinking that he was too careless, he said, "Yes! In the future, I will work hard to get more food in my field! ”

This sentence made Yang Yulin laugh non-stop.

When he came to the command center, Zhang Zhimu saw that Zhang Bengui, the "god hand Zhang", was also here.

Seeing Zhang Zhimu, Chen Yufeng said with a black face: "Li Jing, this little rabbit cub, didn't look at it for a while, so he went out to cause trouble." ”

Zhang Zhimu asked: "Li Jing, they should be on Liu Yun's side now, what's wrong?" ”

Ouyang He said: "Fang Cai, Liu Yun and they came to report, and they still want to ask for credit." Last night, Li Jing led people to burn down the Dashun Army grain and grass depot in the smelting field, and almost went to arrest the other coach. If he didn't catch it, he burned people's big tents. ”

"Oh my God, haven't we kept him from moving? If you are shocked at this time, Li Zicheng will not be good. Zhang Zhimu said.

Chen Yufeng said: "Liu Yun made me scold. Li Jing's little rabbit cub was frizzy, and Liu Yun was also frizzy. ”

Ouyang He said: "Don't worry, maybe it won't be as serious as you think." Maybe this will also give Li Zicheng and them an illusion. Let them feel that we only dare to attack their weak points, not their battalions. Because we have been fighting for so long, have we not fought back? ”

Chen Yufeng let out a sigh of relief and said, "I hope it can be like this!" If Li Zicheng and them were scared away this time, it would be troublesome. The county towns and passes to the north of our Xiurong have not moved. They are so close to us, and we can't attack them directly, so it will be very troublesome. ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "Let's see." I think maybe it's not as serious as we think. ”

At this time, Zhang Bengui, the "god hand zhang", said, "Study your big things slowly, and talk about the small things in front of you." ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "Uncle Zhang, you say. ”

Zhang Bengui said: "You have also seen that this day is becoming civilized day by day. The front of our kiln position, Xiurong City, and the fort were full of corpses, and if they rotted, it would be a plague immediately. It's a big deal. Let's not wait for the dawn to come up with a solution. ”

Zhang Zhimu knew that what Zhang Bengui said was not a trivial matter.

Chen Yufeng said: "I just thought about it. There is a big stone pit on the east side of our mountain, and we might as well bury the bodies there. Sprinkle more lime on top and bury more earth. ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "That won't work, there are too many corpses." We still took the corpses to the edge of the pit, put firewood and grass on them, poured coal tar on them, cremated them and buried them. ”

"Zhimu is right, even so, we have to sprinkle lime when we bury it. Don't get into trouble. Zhang Bengui said.

Ouyang He said: "I should send a letter to tell Li Zicheng's camp and inform them that I will start cleaning up the corpses and ask them not to harass them." If they are willing to come and clean up the bodies together, we welcome them. ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "Yes, tell them again that we will build a memorial here, and we will also erect a stone monument here so that the fallen soldiers can rest here." ”

When Yan Boju came in, he saw everyone talking, he didn't squeak, and then he said: "When Li Zicheng leaves, our land must also be turned over deeply, the ground in front of our kiln gang is all stained red with blood." I see that this year's snow is not small, and there is enough fertilizer, so this year's harvest cannot be wrong. ”

Chen Yufeng said: "This old thing, you are using human blood as fertilizer!" ”

Ouyang He personally wrote a letter and sent someone to shoot it to Li Zicheng with a ringing arrow.

The gist of the letter is,

Officers and soldiers of Dashun:

Due to the bloody battlefield of the soldiers on both sides in a few days of bloody battles, the corpses of many soldiers are still in the wilderness. They were also born and raised by their parents, and they were all our brothers when they were born. We can't let them stay there forever. We want to collect their bodies.

Our idea was that there was a big stone pit on the east side of the kiln, and we wanted to bury the corpses of the soldiers in this pit after the sparks had been burned by the pit. Then build a large tomb and set up a large stone monument for the soldiers to rest here. Our personnel who clean up the corpses will not carry weapons, so please do not harass. If you would like to clean up the corpses together, we welcome them, and please refrain from carrying weapons.

The letter was quickly delivered to Li Zicheng, who read it and said, "Reply to the kiln people, we should sue them, and we agree with their opinions." We sent people to clean up the corpses around Xiurong City, and asked the kiln people to clean up the corpses around the fort and in front of the kiln gang. The cremation of the corpse and the construction of the grave tree monument are also responsible for the kiln people. ”

Niu Jinxing said: "It seems that the people of Yaogang are still very benevolent. ”

Song Xiance said: "The sky is about to be civilized, and they are also afraid that the corpses will decompose and bring plague. But it's time for our soldiers to collect their bodies. ”

Li Zicheng didn't speak again, returned to his bedroom, took out the letter again, and looked at it carefully. took out the letter that was shot into his camp after Li Yan changed his guard last time, compared the pen style, and found that it was written by the same person, it seems that Li Yan and the military advisor of Yaogang did keep in touch.

Li Zicheng closed his eyes tightly, and after a while, he slowly broke away and let out a long breath. It was a sign of a lot of determination on his part.
